I was just about to post this very thing. Yes, I'd say it's a slight language barrier.

It's a shame, but you guys are probably right. Any bug or glitch, which will exist (making games is hard, no one will ever be perfect). These glitches, even if they are miniscule, will get pointed out again and again.

People need to calm down. It will be out when it's out. Step back, and realize that this is a truly massive game, and that it takes time to make. Especially when they are adding more features, and fixing bugs.

The amount of delays should have absolutely no bearing on any review scores or opinions of the game.

Agreed. This isn't an annual sports game. Announced 4 years ago, and in development for 5 is not unheard of. Especially the amount of content and polish this game will contain.
